Abstract

Microchannel heat sink is a potential procedure for scatter heat as a result of its little size and high effectiveness. Thermal resistance and pumping power are two significant parameters to assess the behavior of microchannel heat sink. In this review, heat transfer and fluid behavior have been concentrated mathematically in a microchannel heat sink with the counter stream and different shape of the groove. Four unique cases are discussed in this paper, microchannel heat sink with rectangular groove (R-MCHS), microchannel heat sink with circular groove (C-MCHS), microchannel heat sink with triangular groove (T-MCHS), and straight microchannel heat sink (S-MCHS). Three-dimensional numerical simulation is conducted with the Reynolds number, Re, shifting from 100 to 500 with expanding 100 for each step. As the coolant, Single-stage fluid water streams in the heat sink. The thermal and hydraulic performance of these cases are evaluated by comparing the average temperature of the solid domain, Nusselt number, Thermal Resistance, and Pumping Power. Contrasted with the S-MCHS, the thermal performance of MCHSs with grooves is increased, and the Nusselt number increased at the furrow area. Likewise, the pumping power is bigger for all cases with grooves contrasted and S-MCHS. In all grooved cases, R-MCHS has the lowest average temperature on the bottom surface and the highest average temperature in the solid domain. The C-MCHS has the least thermal resistance for all Re between 100 to 500. In light of the component, the plan standards to move toward the presentation of inclination are proposed.
